Nine Ontario universities - including Brock and McMaster - are working together to try to put a lid on illegal street parties that are often attended by thousands of students.
Representatives from the schools met at Western University looking for solutions to the growing problem of these unsanctioned parties.
The day-long meeting focused on learning from the experiences of each university and city in an effort to find meaningful solutions to a problem that is spreading through municipalities across Ontario and beyond.
Western Vice-President, Lynn Logan, says illegal street partying is a complex issue across the province, and even North America
In 2017, a homecoming party in a Thorold neighbourhood angered residents when 500 students celebrated on a local street.
